I'm taken back to a front porch swing
A Polaroid of when I was a child of 11
You were a woman of 13
I was in innocent childhood lust
Chased by whispers of your past
It was just enough to be holding hands,
Leaning close and sharing a laugh
Chorus
It was the butterflies in the belly
Sharing summer nights in July
You were my very first love
And we chased after fireflies
To me you will always be
In a yellow striped tee
Sitting next to me sharing
The best almost kiss of my life
It was 5 years later, my phone would ring
I was caught by surprise with your voice
You were going to be a bride at 16
Broke my heart telling me he was your choice
I was there dressed up in black
You were in white and stood by his side
As I took your hand one last time
Danced you around the floor
And shared one last laugh
And STILL____
It was the butterflies in the belly
Sharing summer nights in July
It was my very first love
And chasing after fireflies
To me you will always be
In a yellow striped tee
Sitting next to me sharing
The best almost kiss of my life
You out there somewhere listening to this song
Shattered by your choices, maybe even singing along
Wondering what took me so long
Jenny this is your song...
